CEVISAMA 2018: The fair welcomes authentic international referents of architecture, including two Pritzker prizes

CEVISAMA 2018 will not only be one of the best editions of the last decade from the commercial point of view. The organization of the international fair wanted that this advance of participation in the exhibition is accompanied by a qualitative leap in the program of parallel activities and, therefore, has made a great promotional effort to attract Valencia to authentic international referents of architecture, among them two Pritzker prizes - a recognition considered as the Nobel for architecture.

The Forum of Architecture and Design of CevisamaLab -the cultural field of Cevisama-, has been configured for this edition by the renowned architect and critic Luis Fernández-Galiano under the slogan “Material Architecture“. In his own words:

“Architecture is ideas and forms, but both crystallize through matter. If the construction is prefigured in the immaterial geometries of the project, its realization in the physical world is produced through materials and techniques. From this tangled relationship between intentions, demands, constructions and environments, this seminar deals with the realization of the architecture project through six case studies: six recent buildings completed by contemporary teachers, and explained by themselves from the complexity of the projects. contexts and the material will of its realization”.

In this way, Cevisama Architecture and Design Forum will have two sessions, which will take place during the first two days of the fair -5 and 6 of February-. The first session will bring together Francisco Mangado and Emilio Tuñón, taking care of the two works that have made them worthy of the last Spanish Architecture Prize, the Palace of Congresses of Palma and the Museum of Royal Collections in Madrid (projected with the prematurely disappeared Luis Moreno Mansilla), and will be completed with the intervention of the Portuguese Pritzker Prize Eduardo Souto de Moura on a building that has had the opportunity to build twice, the Braga Market.

The final finale to the seminar will be put by Maestro and Pritzker Rafael Moneo, who will explain his last completed work, the J. Palacios winery in El Bierzo.

The presentation of Moneo will take place on Tuesday at 1:00 pm in the Valencia Fair and, as in the rest of the conferences, the entrance will be free until full capacity is reached.
